Hey everyone
Decided to upgrade my old inspiron a little by adding some RAM. There was one stick of Samsung m471b5273dh0-ch9 4GB DDR3 already in it, ordered exactly the same from Amazon.
Installed it excitedly and booted up Unreal tournament to test RAM usage. After about 15-20 min the laptop froze and i got weird colorful artifacts on the screen. Did a hard reboot, started browsing, again got the same in 10-15 min. Both modules seem to work ok when used individually (tried on both the RAM slots).
Should i return the RAM? Get it replaced? Need advise
Dell Inspiron N4110
Intel i3 2.3Ghz,
4GB RAM, 1TB hard disk
orignal power brick, used with a laptop cooler stand.
